The Supremacy Classroom Backed by Black Technology Chapter 6

Sato Ken's expression grew even more surprised, but he masked it well in an instant.

"What about Class D?"

Shuichi Kanda, having caught that fleeting surprise, pressed on immediately.

"No, nothing. Where were we? Right, right, right—the matter of the temporary store manager..."

Clearly, Sato Ken had no desire to dwell on the topic of classes any further, and instead began introducing the various equipment in the shop to Akito Miyake.

As for Shuichi Kanda, he could tell at a glance that this man was not an archer—at the very least, his fingers lacked the calluses that came from long-term practice.

Miyake, on the other hand, clearly lacked sensitivity toward unfamiliar matters and was easily led off-topic by Sato Ken.

Afterward, Sato Ken even used the excuse of testing whether the bow felt comfortable to lead him to a temporary practice area behind the store.

As for Shuichi Kanda, he sat down on a nearby stool under Akito Miyake's apologetic gaze, then casually took down a large bow hanging on the wall.

While stroking the exquisitely crafted bow, he pondered what had just happened.

First, when Sato Ken introduced himself, he seemed to deliberately emphasize his identity as a Class A student. Though subconscious, it was clear he took pride—or perhaps arrogance—in being from Class A.

Second, when asked why there were fewer than three hundred students in the second and third years, he forcefully redirected the conversation and skillfully avoided lingering on the topic of classes.

Third, after a brief observation, he realized that Miyake was the actual customer—or rather, the future member of the Archery Club—while Kanda was merely a companion.

So, what conclusions could be drawn?

For instance, perhaps the class labels represented something different? That would explain why he took pride in being in Class A and was surprised that the two of them were in Class D.

Too little information—there was no way to see the full picture.

Shuichi Kanda rubbed his temples, choosing to relax his mind.

About twenty minutes later, Miyake emerged from the back and spotted Kanda holding the bow.

"Hm? Kanda, are you interested in archery too?"

"Not entirely uninterested, but I'm more curious about how this bow was made. I don't have much interest in archery itself."

That was true. In his previous life, Shuichi Kanda had been a craftsman at heart, so naturally, he was drawn to such things.

"Don't say that. Making and maintaining bows and arrows is part of archery. If you can't always pay attention to the condition of your bow and arrows, you can't call yourself a qualified archer."

Sato Ken walked out from the back, holding a slip of paper.

"Miyake, this is the order information. Please confirm it."

"Alright, Sato-senpai."

After handing the slip to Miyake, Sato turned to Kanda. "How about it? Interested in joining the Archery Club? We have members who specialize in making and maintaining bows and arrows."

So Miyake had already decided to join the Archery Club?

Faced with Sato Ken's invitation, Kanda felt tempted. This way, he could join the same club as his new friend and continue his craftwork.

Looking at Sato Ken's expectant expression, Shuichi Kanda decided...

"Hmm, I'll think about it. If I'm interested, I'll contact you through Miyake, senpai."

When Shuichi Kanda spoke, Sato Ken thought he had succeeded. It turned out to be a false hope, but even so, today's gains were still good.

Akito Miyake—he's really skilled. I'll take him to the National Tournament this summer to broaden his horizons.

"Senpai, I've confirmed it."

"Mm, let me see." Sato Ken took the order slip from Akito Miyake's hand and nodded. "No problem. It'll be delivered to the club by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. Just come by then."

"Alright, thank you, senpai."

"Having an excellent junior like you join the Archery Club makes me very happy." Sato Ken flashed another bright smile.

"One last piece of advice—don't waste your Private Points carelessly."

Seeing his exaggerated expression and reluctance to elaborate, Shuichi Kanda decided not to press further. After all, the man had given them free information.

After leaving the store, the two headed toward the daily necessities shop.

"Hey, Kanda. What did Sato-senpai mean by that? Telling us not to waste our points. And when I was picking out a bow, he kept recommending cheap, durable ones."

"Oh? That's what he recommended?" Shuichi Kanda turned his head.

"Yeah. He said I don't have many points right now, so I could wait until I have more before upgrading my equipment."

Akito Miyake answered honestly.

"I see. It seems this Captain Sato Ken thinks highly of you, Miyake."

"Is that so?" Miyake showed no sign of being flattered.

"Let's go shopping first. We'll talk in detail when we get back to the dorm."

The central area of the Shopping Street was dominated by a large commercial facility called Keyaki Mall. It housed not only various shops but also places for students to eat, drink, and have fun.

Judging by the flow of students passing through, it was clear how popular this place was.

However, Shuichi Kanda and Akito Miyake had no intention of joining the crowd. For one, neither of them liked crowds. For another, Kanda just wanted to buy some daily necessities and head back to the dorm to rest.

Chapter 11: Reverence for the Unknown Technology

They found a convenience store at random, and Miyake and Kanda went in to start picking out essential daily necessities.

For Kanda, he didn't need much—mainly shampoo, facial cleanser, soap, toothpaste, a toothbrush, and things like that.

As soon as they entered the store, the two immediately spotted the sign with the words "Free Zone" hanging up.

"Not just food, even daily necessities are free? Isn't this treatment a bit too good?"

Muttering to himself, Miyake walked toward the free zone, and Shuichi Kanda followed close behind.

The free zone was also very well-stocked; at least all the toiletries Shuichi Kanda needed were available.

"Ah, the shampoo I usually use is free here?"

Well, it probably won't be bad quality either.

Without a second thought, he cheerfully tossed the free items into the shopping basket he'd grabbed on the way in.

Who doesn't understand the joy of getting something for nothing?

Aside from these items, Shuichi Kanda didn't buy anything else for now, so even though they'd come out shopping, after a full round, he spent 0 Private Points, leaving his balance at 100,000.

First-Year Dormitory Building, fourth floor.

"I'll head back first. Once Hirata arrives, I'll come over to your place."

On the way back, Kanda had used the excuse of having something to discuss to call Hirata over to meet at Miyake's room. After Hirata replied that he'd need about twenty minutes, the plan was set.

"I get the reasoning, but why does it have to be my room?"

"Then should we go to Hirata's room?"

"Forget it, let's just wait until Hirata gets back."

Miyake opened the door to Room 408 and went inside.

Shuichi Kanda continued further down the hall, then stopped in front of Room 404, took out his key card, and opened the door.

After closing the door, Shuichi Kanda habitually arranged the toiletries he'd just bought neatly on the sink counter, making them easy to use later.

Then he took off his shoes at the entrance and walked into the room.

He hadn't looked carefully earlier, but now he noticed—though there were several cameras in the hallway, there were indeed no cameras inside the dorm room.

How twisted would someone have to be to install cameras inside a dorm room anyway?

Sitting down on the edge of the bed again, Shuichi Kanda closed his eyes and began to communicate with his system. This thing had appeared without a sound, and when it handed out items, it was just as capricious—aside from the items in the System Space and their instruction manuals, it did absolutely nothing else.

If it weren't for the fact that he could still speak various languages effortlessly now, he might have thought the system was just an illusion.

Value-Added Bank: One Day, claim!

Bam!

After a puff of smoke, a small machine appeared on the tatami mat in the room. The commotion startled Shuichi Kanda, and he quickly opened his eyes, only to see the strange machine that had materialized on the tatami in front of him.

The machine had two slots. One slot was labeled "Deposit," and the other was labeled "Loan." However, the loan slot was currently sealed shut, which probably meant the loan function wasn't available.

Then, Shuichi Kanda reached out his hand, intending to pick it up and take a closer look at its structure.

But the moment he touched the Value-Added Bank, it immediately transformed. Its originally irregular shape began to change, and in just a few seconds, it became something about twenty centimeters in both length and width, but less than two centimeters tall—looking like a small tablet computer.

The instruction manual had also changed, and the usage method became very simple: just select "Deposit" on the front screen, enter the amount, and bring your student card close to the sensor area to successfully deposit.

When you needed to withdraw, just select "Withdraw" and place your student card on the sensor area again. It was practically foolproof.

However, one thing to note was that once an amount was deposited, the item's existence timer would activate. Once it exceeded twenty-four hours, it would disappear directly.

Before it disappeared, it would automatically return the accumulated points to the depositor's student card. Any time less than a full hour wouldn't count toward interest growth.

For example, if there was one hour and thirty minutes left, and Shuichi Kanda deposited 10,000 Private Points, then after one hour and thirty minutes, he would only get 11,000 Private Points, not 12,100.

Looking at this Value-Added Bank, a smile crept onto Shuichi Kanda's lips. This was really a great item, and after the change in appearance, it was much easier to store.

After placing the Value-Added Bank: One Day into the cabinet of his computer desk, Shuichi Kanda lay down on the bed, emptied his mind, and began calling out to the system.

System!

System!

Black Technology System!

But no matter how he called, there was no response at all. Finally, as if annoyed by Shuichi Kanda's persistence, a piece of paper fell from the void.

This system distributes one piece of black technology per month. Please use it cautiously. Improper use may lead to severe consequences, including the destruction of the world.

World destruction? Do you think I was born yesterday? That's really ridiculous.

Just a Translation Konjac and a Value-Added Bank—how could the world be destroyed?

However, Shuichi Kanda hadn't considered that the causes of world wars often stem from economic collapse. And if this Value-Added Bank weren't limited to just one day of use, it would absolutely have the potential to cause economic collapse.

When that happened, the world might really end up being destroyed because of it. ′?)′?)′?)*′?)

As if sensing Shuichi Kanda's dismissive attitude, a book dropped directly from the air and smacked him right on the head.

Bang!

Damn it!

What the hell?

Struck by surprise, Shuichi Kanda instinctively looked up at the ceiling, but there was nothing there. Turning his head, a thin book appeared in his field of vision, and the large characters on its cover made his spirits jolt.

World Destruction Case Studies

Seriously!?

The system was way too petty!

That said, Shuichi Kanda still picked up the thin book, flipped it open, and began to read.

Case One: In the year 2593, the Value-Added Bank was used recklessly, causing currency devaluation and concentrating wealth in the hands of a few. The vast majority of people couldn't afford food or medical care...

Then social conflicts erupted, a world war broke out, and Earth was destroyed.

The content in the book wasn't much—just ten cases in total.

But as he read through them, the desperate scenes of those worlds seemed to materialize before Shuichi Kanda's eyes. For the first time, he developed the idea that the black technology produced by the system must not be used indiscriminately.

Chapter 12: Room 408 Meeting

With reverence for the black technology, Shuichi Kanda knocked on the door of Akito Miyake's room, because a few minutes earlier, he had seen a message from him.

Hirata had already arrived.
